BUY WAR TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS
words and music

​
Little Johnny Johnson wants an M-16
Sister Susie wants an uzi and a submachine
Kids are making wishes, and wartime strategies
singing Happy Happy Birthday to the Prince of Peace

Buy war toys for Christmas, have a happy holiday
Santa traded in his red cap for a green beret
Teach those happy little children to be hellcats when they play
And have a very merry military day

Janie wants the latest deadly laser gun
Little Tommy asked his mommy for his own B-1
Kids are roasting chestnuts on burning effigies
Singing Happy Happy Birthday to the Prince of Peace

Buy war toys for Christmas, have a happy holiday
Santa knows a missile toes the line in every way
Teach those happy little children to be hellcats when they play
And have a very merry military day

We’ve all got our fingers crossed
For another Cold War frost
Sing, “Oh by golly, let’s be jolly
Deck the Holly-caust” 

Darling Danny Simpson armed his own brigade
Staged a coup and overthrew the Christmas Day parade
Kids are dropping napalm on their Christmas trees
And hiding chocolate-covered cherry bombs in a box of Sees

Buy war toys for Christmas, have a happy holiday
Santa slayed his reindeer, now he flies the Enola Gay
Teach those happy little children to be hellcats when they play
And have a very merry military day

And have a very scary military day

Singing Happy Happy Birthday to the Prince of Peace
